The One.Armed Emperor Who ~ 10 be
Another Frederick the Great.

The One.Armed Emperor who 81 TO be
Another Frederick the Great.
One sees the photographs of the Prince
and Princess William and their four little
boys 10 every shop window. 1t is
pretty family group and intensely adj
mired by the people. The eldest boy is
hardly five. He is also photographed
with the old Emperor at the wIadow.
1t is declared that Prince William is the
Kaisers favorite. The people regard
him as the next Emperor, for the feeling
ia settled one that the Crown Prince
will not live to succeed the Kaiser.
Though young, he shows strength and
courage, aud in bis own family brooks no
interference. His wife is year his
senior and thoroughly German woman.
The people say there will be no English
interference from her as from the Crown
Princess, who has been English from
first to last-a clever woman in many
ways, but not clever in coneealing her
lack of sympathy for German customs
and che German people.
Then there is the prophecy brought
forward by the German people, who are
somewhat superstitious. Germany is to
be greatest, it says. uoder young ruler
who has but one arm, and has four sons.
He is to succeed an aged sovereign, carry
an great war successfully and prove
another Frederick the Great. The Ger.
mans see in this the destiny of Prince
William, who was born with one arm
partly defsrmed, short and stiff. And
they SEQ in his character all the require
ments of the prophecy, even down to the
four sons. But the power of Germany
wanes after this ruler, and she is then
to go down and become an Insignificant
nation. So runs the prophecy. N. Y.

TnR Fioxr AoAIssr Tm SALOON.


The movement against the saloon
gathers strength ss it proceeds. Ev-
erywhere throughout the Union
North, East West, and South
the people are rising in rebellion
against the rule Of rum. Restrictive
Legislation in various forms and con-
stitu,ionaI prohibition are the prin.
cidal lines along which the warfare
proceeds. During the present sea-
son the legislatures of no less than
twenty-one states have been called
upon to consider the drink evil and
take action towards its suppression.
In nearly every one Of these States
some thing has been done to check
the growth of the saloon and cur
tail its power. High license laws,
local option, and prohibitory amend
ments are the order Of the day.
Never before III the history of the
temperance cause has the feeling
against tho liquor traffic been 60
deep, 30 widespread, so earnest, 90
determined as now. That most
powerful Of agencies, the public
press, has at last arrayed itself
against the trafc; many leading
secular journals of the country have
adopted tone of bitter hostility to
the grog-shop, aud are attacking it
daily with all the force and ability
they have at command. No strong
er or more effective arguments
against the saloon can be found any
where than those put forward in the
editorial columns of some of the New
York dAilys. The gain for temper.
ance in this direction has been Of the
most significant and promising char.
acter. Public men, too, men of af-
fairs, judges, statesmen, political
leaders, Hho have hitherto held them
selves aloof from the discussion OF
temperance, are now taking sides in
the conflict, and many of the sblest
and best Of them have openly declar-
ed against the "business of manufact.
uring drunkards. The lines are
being more and more sharply drawn
every day between the adherents Of
the rum-shop and the friends Of
peace, order and sobriety. The hour
is at hand when every man must
make a decision in this matter. And
when it comes TO this issue every.
where we cannot doubt where the
majority will stand. The sentiment
of the country is overwhelming
against a continuance Of saloon dom
insti,n. There can be no mistakins
this fact. The present movement i,
not dependent upon wave of pop
ular excitement, it is not born OF j,
passing enthusiasm. 1t is the out
oome Of years of wrong and suffer
ing induced by the cursed drink traf
ic; it is q revolt Of the people agaWs
apower whose reign Of ou,rsge, vice
and crime has beoome too terrible :,

Prom Our Regular Correspoaden,.)

fProm Our Regular Correspoadent.)
The country youth or maiden who
reads of the happy lot Of the Govern.
ment clerk here, with his salary OF
from 1920 to $500 per year, with
his abundant leisure, and with the
great advantages, social, literary,
and spectacular, which life At the
Capital affords, is filled with long
ing. If the country youth and maid
eli are not angels, they may even be
filed with envy. The enchantmcnt
which distance lends to alleged hap
py lot is often provocative Of envy.
Perhaps the only happy lot is the
little one OF six by three feet upon
which daisies cluster, but ia which
there is enchantment only for those
who have seen irid-scent bubbles Of
life burst at the touch, inc luding
even the bubble Of a government
position. But this is a digressiou
from the strait aud narrow path Of a
Washington correspondent.
Your correspondent wishes to ex-
plain that he was not discharged,
he resigned and retired into the bus
mess Of journalism, and | look bask
on my experience as a Government
clerk without envy or longing. But
to the average ex-clerk the retrospect
is much less enviable now, than 1t
was then in 1878. Perhaps the
greatest i'll and terror Of youth is
the school examination. Oh! dost
thou remember? Think Of life OF
protracsed school examinations!
Such is to be the future life of the
Government clerk! He may no long.
or drive his pen in peace, or furtive-
ly read his newspaper. President
Cleveland has decfe-i that he shall
stand all examination for prom otion
whether he wants promotion or not,
and that If Inc fails to reach an aver
age OF 70 per cent, he mus, step
down and out. SAINTS, sinners ana |

struction and carpet bags.
The very idea Of a competitive
examination is quite paralyzing, for
they know littls spelling and less
arithmetic. Geography, mahogany,
